Asmenybė ir sveikata
„Žmogus žiūri į pasaulį pro minčių šydą, kurį jam praėję amžiai ir buvusios kartos yra suteikusios. Jis žiūri pro tai, ką kiti jam deda ant akių kaip aukščiausiąjį išmanymą. Ir jis žiūri pro savo troškimus ir papročius. Visi tie dalykai stovi tarp jo ir gyvenimo.“
Vydūnas
Ne kiekviena tauta gali pasigirti turinti tokį mąstytoją kaip Vydūnas. Vadinamas reiškiniu, tautos sąmoningumo puoselėtoju, dvasiniu guru ir prilyginamas tokiems minties galiūnams kaip Sokratas, Tagorė ar Gandis, Vydūnas visuomet žmonėms darė išskirtinai teigiamą ir stiprų įspūdį.
Knygoje "Asmenybė ir sveikata", sudarytoje iš 1903–1952 m. rašytų publicistinių straipsnių, Vydūnas pabrėžia žmogaus sąmoningumo ryšį su sveikata, daug dėmesio skiria asmenybės laisvės ir vidinės darnos svarbai. Publikuojami Vydūno laiškai papildo jo filosofinį požiūrį, pagal kurį pats gyveno ir žavėjo amžininkus savo dvasios grožiu. Vydūno filosofija pralenkė jo gyvenamąjį laiką, tačiau materialiame, beprotiško tempo XXI a. pasaulyje jo mintys yra iš naujo atrastas dvasinės stiprybės šaltinis.

About the author
Vydūnas
29 books11 followersVilhelmas Storostas - Vydūnas, was a Lithuanian philosopher, writer, poet, humanist, teacher. He was one of the first Lithuanian theosophists, and was active in the Lithuanian nationalist movement (Tautininkas).
The Storostų family was for centuries living in East-Prussia (Lithuania Minor) and Vilhelmas was born in the village Jonaičiai, near Heydekrug, in the Kingdom of Prussia. Vilhelmas Storostas was the name on his German passport, while Vilimas or Vilius Storostas was the literature Lithuanian form used by himself, his family, and other Lithuanians. "Vydūnas" was added to his surname as a pseudonym when he was about 40 years old.
Storost was educated as teacher at the Präparandenanstalt in Pillkallen (1883–85) and at teacher seminar in Ragainė (1885–88). From 1888 to 1892 he was a teacher in Kintai, when he went to teach at a boys school in Tilžė until 1912 and taught German, French, English, Lithuanian and sports. In 1912 he left his teaching position in order to take up philosophical studies, which he took at the universities of Greifswald, Halle, Leipzig and Berlin.
1918/19 he taught Lithuanian at the Seminar for Oriental Languages in Berlin under the director Eduard Sachau. Back in Tlže he dedicated himself to reestablishment of Lithuanian Culture, especially folks songs and rural traditions. He directed a choir and wrote songs as well as theater plays. From 1933 on he worked in Memel at the music school.
1932 he wrote a book Sieben Hundert Jahren Deutsch-Litauischer Beziehung (Seven Hundred Years German Lithuanian relations). His idea of understanding between folks groups did not please the Nazis and in 1933 the book was outlawed. 1938 he was shortly incarcerated, but because of protests released after two months.
Together with nearly all of the people of East Prussia he was expelled during Communist take-over and lived in a refugee camp for some time. He died in Detmold, West Germany. One of his nephews, Juergen Storost, recently explained, that Wilhelm Storost's choice of the pen name Vydunas was, because "he wished everyone everything good".
Vydūnas was active in the old Lithuanian pagan religion (see Romuva). However, he never declared the revival of the pagan religion as either his personal goal or a goal of Lithuanians, remaining a national leader but not a religious one.
His moral influence transcended the confines of being a typical political leader or a writer at his time. He was compared by later biographers with national leaders in India of his time, such as Rabindranath Tagore or Mohandas Gandhi. Pantheistic universalism, not predefined with participating in any obligatory religious practice, was one of the leading ideas of his philosophy, and gained him later fame as a pioneer of both pagan revival and theosophy in Lithuania.
Vydūnas was an ethical vegetarian, and wrote several essays about his ethical choices.
Vydūnas was considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize by Lithuanian writers association.

Turinys patiko, bet nepatiko tai kaip buvo struktūrizuota knyga. Tekstai atrodė išmėtyti ir nebuvo pojūčio, kad skaitytum vientisą knygą. Galbūt verta permąstyti knygos formatą, jei kada nors būtų pakartotinis leidimas.

Tikrai maloniai nustebino šis veikalas. Dėl kalbos senoviškumo vietomis gal ir sunkiau skaitėsi, bet nepaisant to tekstas tikrai suprantamas paprastam skaitytojui. Va o turinys tikrai vertas dėmesio. Rodos skaitome daug Rytų ir Vakarų literatūros asmeninio tobulėjimo srityse, o va Vydūnas apie visa tai dar 20tojo amžiaus vidury kalbėjo. Neseniai teko skaityti Eckhart Tolle veikalų, ir tikrai taip keista, kad apie visa tai Vydūnas seniausiai kalbėjo. Tikrai verta pasiskaityti visiems, kas domisi visokeriopa holistine sveikata, dvasingumu ir pan. Įkvėpė pasidomėti Vydūnu daugiau ir tuo pačiu pasiskaityti jo bendraamžininkų, tokių kaip Rufolf Steiner, veikalų.

Labai džiaugiuosi, kad Vydūnas gyveno. Ir mąstė, kūrė, jautė.
"Sakoma, esą valdžiai reikia pinigų, o ji daug pelnanti iš alkoholio pardavimo. Jau, rodos, taip tik nebus nusprendę valdžios žmonės. Visai aišku, kad toks spręsmas yra paikumas. Didesni mokesčiai gali įplaukti į valdžios iždą tik iš stropiai dirbančių, produkuojančių žmonių. "
